The only thing that have such stupidity are the scientist
that have to waste so much time , effort and resources to know this
simple truth . Why don't they go and do some damage like cut open
the flesh of a comatose person or to put it simply " vegetable
" to see if they have any emotions or screaming reaction ? If
there is no reaction nor expression then can they say that this
comatose person don't have pain receptors ? Then when the general
from the 3 kingdom Guan Yu played chess calmly when Hua Tuo was
operating and scraping the poison from the bone on his shoulder
without using anasthetic and without much sign of pain . Does it
mean that he is stupid and devoid of any pain ?
Clearly some scientist have nothing better to do then to
prove such things .
Yep
Also maybe they're afraid of knowing the truth...avoidance!
Like the article said, once those fishing enthusiasts got wind
of this news, they became really unhappy and refused to acknowledge
this research.
People don't want to know that they are in the "wrong"...they
don't want to stop what they are doing, so they'll twist facts and
logic.
